Your points have merit too and I certainly understand that you know your 
stuff regarding ocfs2, but why should one not discuss core design? Are 
you so confident and assume that flaws do not exist or acknowledge there 
are different and maybe better ways to do things?

I think people tend to say things over and over if their ideas are never 
taken seriously and since I have never really read a detailed and open 
discussion regarding his concerns, maybe he simply repeats himself. I 
would enjoy reading your thoughts about what Alexei has written 
especially the issue regarding heartbeat.
